The trouble with a good many

The trouble with good many
boys is THAI they think that the red

The trouble with great many

The trouble with most of the

WATER ]. II WORKS.
AUSTIN VOTES TO HAVE THEM.

A meeting of the citizens of Austin was
held at the court house last Wednesday
evening in reponse to call issued by the
city council, to give an expression of
opinion on the question of having water
works for the city. The large number
in attendance at the meeting showed the
interest taken in the subject by the Austin
people and as ar index of the general
feeling was highly satisfactory. D. B.
johnson Jr. called the meeting to order
and asked the council to explain its OBJ
ject. On behalf of the Council Mayor
French explained that the object of the
council in calling the meeting was to get
an expression of the people on the subject,
so that when they acted they could do so.
with the knowledge that majority of
the people were with them. He wished
every one to be free to state his opinion
on the subject and to ask for any infor-
nation that might be desired. At the re.
quest of Mr., French, A. Knox, chairman
of the special committee on water works,
which had been brought before the coun-
Gil giving the proposed method of opera
tion and estimated cost of the different
plans. He stated that the plan which
had seemed to the council best adapted
to our needs was one embracing system
of fifty drive wells to furnish water for
drinking purposes and having q connec-
ton with the river for use in fires. The
water will be we'll extended through the
city by five miles of water mains. To
put this system in complete running order
will require $3S. 900 with an annual ex-
pense of $1,000. At the close of the remarks
by Mr.. Knox several gentleman presented
their views on the subject and questions
in regard to it were answered by Mayor
French and Mr.Knox. Some difficulty
was experienced in getting the ballots
distributed and easy access to the bal
lot box on account of the num-
bers present, but this was at length &C.
complished and vote taken resulting
in 127 in favor of water works and SO
against, making majority of 80 in favor
of water works. The vote represents the
sentiment of Austin on the water works
question and will allow the council to
go on in this matter with the knowledge
that public sentiment is behind them
The question that they will have to de-
eide now. will be what system is the best
for Austin and how fast to go ahead
with the work. In matter Of this
Importance it is matter of congratula-
tion that our city fathers give the atten
ton that they do to the city'sa interest
a:d advancement. In the hands of the
present Mayor and council all can rest
satisfied that what is for Austin's best IN
terests will receive prompt attention.
